New Loch Ness Monster Video

Thousands of tourists flock to Loch Ness every year hoping to see the elusive monster – or even better – get a photograph of it.

So when a black hump emerged from the dark waters of Britain’s biggest loch, as Connie Ross and her daughter Reyshell Avellanoza were taking pictures, the opportunity was too good to miss.

But the pair were so mesmerised for those vital few seconds, their chance of capturing a rare close-up image of the Nessie phenomenon, was gone.

No trip to the Highlands would be complete without a tour of Urquhart Castle and the chance to see the loch’s shy occupant.

Connie said: “Campbell drove us down to the loch last Tuesday. He stayed in the car park, and my daughter and granddaughter walked down to go round the Castle and then take pictures by the loch-side.

“It was about 1.30pm in the afternoon and I had my still camera. Reyshell had her tablet and we were taking pictures when Heather pointed out something in the water.
